Chapter 534: Chapter 531

Episode 531. Ruins, Dark Volcano (2)

After the break, Johannes’ explanation of what happened was also finished.

“Is this really possible?”

“Who is it? Didn’t a magic engineer from Reflor join the Goinmul Corporation?”

“Besides, that old man. The sage who often appeared on the central fountain screen. He is a very tall man.”

“Finally walking on a flowery path.”

new reinforcements.

The fact that those who could be called the leaders of the 33rd floor also came to raise the morale of the raid.

The darkness of the ruins strategy was starting to come true little by little.

Seeing such a raid, Johannes swallowed a laugh inwardly.

‘They’re like stupid people.’

It was hard to hold back laughter when I saw the idiots giggling, not knowing that the place they were guiding to was Hell.

‘No, but you can’t be careless. I don’t know about the other guys, but I can’t ignore that guy named Kang Jin-hyeok.’

I never thought I would really achieve the conditions of the hidden chain quest.

For the past few hours, I’ve been sweating hard to calm Pendragon’s anger.

Part of the crystal tower was destroyed.

But that humiliation is all over.

If you go a little further…

a place where you can kill dozens of people will appear.

Johannes took off his pretense and led the party deep into the ruins.

The place that appeared like that was a long one-legged bridge.

A long bridge made of marble connected two huge cliffs.

“Kuhm! greatness. The one in front of me is the place called ‘The Bridge of Dreams’ that I mentioned earlier. If you pass through this bridge, you can enter the deepest part of the ruins.”

“It’s a dreamy leg… Hey, if this falls, you won’t even be able to pick a bone, right?”

Jinhyuk glanced down.

It must be magma shining faintly with a red light down there.

If it falls, it must be considered dead.

“Haha, there are some traps… but I’ll tell you how to attack them, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

It’s a strategy….

Jinhyeok’s mouth twitched.

It was because he had struggled to hold back the burst of laughter.

“If you give me advice, I will be grateful.”

“In fact, the Bridge of Daydreams is a bridge with the characteristic of literally disturbing the five senses. Countless traps seem to exist, but most of them are just illusions. If you can only distinguish the real thing, you can pass it without too much difficulty.”

Johannes poured out prepared comments like a storm.

“Do you know how to tell them apart?”

“yes. See the faint smoke floating around the bridge? A hallucinogenic fog. It’s the kind that gets absorbed through the skin.”

The faces of the raid members who listened to the word that it was absorbed through the skin wrinkled.

It’s not like you can seal the whole body and throw it away.

There was no item that completely blocked the air.

“haha. Don’t worry too much. Fortunately, if you wear this crystal necklace around your neck, you will be able to resist the hallucination.”

Johannes took out necklaces with dazzling blue crystals from his bosom.

“Ohhh!”

“It’s really fortunate that I met the people involved in Refloor!”

“good. you can do it. I can!”

The players cheered.

Since opportunities that are not easily obtained come one after another, of course I have no choice but to be excited.

Jinhyeok also got a crystal necklace.

‘There’s no such thing as a real big deal to just give something like this.’

If what Johannes said is true, it is a tree that gives generously.

That is if true.

[Necklace of Courage]

Difficulty to obtain: A

Description: This is a magical engineering item made by processing sapphire crystals with quite sophisticated skills. when worn. Increases resistance to ‘fear’ by 130%. Also gains an additional +1% resistance per +1 number of players wearing the necklace.

Necklace of Courage.

In modern terms, it is a kind of drug necklace.

It is an item with the property of paralyzing fear and explosively increasing adrenaline instead.

‘The plan is to roast and boil us with blatant lies and then kill us all on the bridge.’

It is an absurdly shameless and cruel plan.

It was even more fatal because it was an action after building a certain amount of trust.

I know it’s a pretty brainy plan, but…

well.

Things aren’t going to turn out the way you want them to.

Still, in this situation, you should react as you should.

So as not to get too suspicious.

“Hmm. The conditions are really good, but the fog is too thick. Could guide Johannes and the rest take the lead?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s all we can offer you. It was forbidden as a rule to go beyond the depths of the ruins. Above all, if a magician climbs on the dream bridge, the bridge itself collapses.”

There is no way to verify the truth, so believe it unconditionally… This is it.

This is the reaction as expected.

“…Whoa. All right. Then, is there anything else I should be careful about?”

“Ah, one thing. You must never use a unique ability or skill to clear the fog. There is also a risk of the bridge itself collapsing.”

“All right. You helped me to this extent, but from now on, we will do our best.”

Jinhyeok smiled and turned to the place where the party was.

“Are you okay?”

“Right brother. Excessive hospitality is something to be careful of… but it’s kind of weird. Usually, the residents on the stairs have never been so kind, right?”

Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa sent alert eyes.

“Hmm. Even Jim looks uncomfortable. No matter how much scholars focus on research, they wouldn’t want the stairs they manage to be easily attacked.”

Alice also added a word with her arms crossed.

“Hey. Are you so suspicious of people who approached you with good intentions? Don’t worry, just stay firmly behind me.”

Jinhyeok stood at the forefront wearing the necklace.

“Hyung, but why are you bringing out the sword?”

“It seems to raise the magic power to the maximum…?”

“contractor. Are those legs okay?”

Everyone asked anxiously.

However, Jinhyeok did not answer and stood up on the bridge.

[You have entered the ‘Bridge of Dreams’!]

That’s it.

As I stepped through the thick fog, my vision was blurred.

It’s a new word, but this bridge boasts a really crazy difficulty.

Even though I had already experienced it several times, cold sweat broke out on my limbs.

‘There’s a reason why Johannes is so sure he’ll kill.’

so that.

We have to do something even crazier here.

Jinhyeok began to measure the timing internally.

While the party was anxious, they climbed onto the bridge one by one.

It was thanks to the effect of the ‘Necklace of Courage’.

3 seconds… 2 seconds 1 second.

The moment when everyone is completely on the bridge.

Boooooong!

A terrifying piercing sound rang out.

What appeared through the fog was the hand of a golem the size of a house.

Even one finger was almost the size of an elephant.

“Aaaagh!”

“Ah, it’s an iron golem!”

A golem whose entire body is covered in iron.

No, judging from the thick crystals embedded in the surface, it must have been a much higher species than that.

‘Eternal Golem…’

Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed.

This is the moment when one of the monsters that can be said to be the essence of magical engineering appeared.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

Thick fingers are visible through the smoke.

The players tried to avoid it in a panic.

However, there were extremely limited places to escape on a bridge about 7m wide.

however.

Wow!

The golem’s fingers froze in the air.

[Lee Tae-min activates his unique ability ‘Machine Lord’!]

[Depending on the perk of Hextech, the total stats of his unique ability increase by 200%!]

A whopping 200%.

The strengthened drones gathered and took the golem’s blow.

Magic bombs rained down from the aircraft of the drones that succeeded in defense.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!

Pew!

Blue flames rose in all directions.

Whenever the Eternal Golem tried to launch a physical attack, Taemin Lee’s flying drones mercilessly counterattacked.

“No way!”

Excited by the overflowing magical power, Lee Tae-min ran wild.

The sense of exhilaration that he had become several times stronger than usual stimulated his heart pleasantly.

Now…

Maybe I could use an 8-star or higher skill.

Lee Tae-min calmed down his excitement and focused his mind.

[Machine Lord – Auto Pilot Mode ‘Storm Saver’ activated!]

…Success!

Armor covering the whole body.

Lee Tae-min, who boarded the mechanical robot, pulled out a pair of swords made of plasma in both hands.

Parts!

A beautiful beam of light extended about 2m.

“Goooooo…!”

The Eternal Golem sensed something unusual and changed its attack pattern.

far, not near.

The plan was to burn the energy contained in the crystal ball to vaporize the intruders on the bridge at once.

[Eternal Golem uses its unique ability ‘Magic Quantum Cannon’!]

Parts!

Yellow lines gathered in the distance.

⁕⁕⁕

‘Hmm…’

Johannes, who was watching the battle, stroked his beard.

I thought that if I added the unfamiliar terrain and the surprise attack of the golem, I would quickly decide the game.

No matter how much I fly and crawl, even Kang Jin-hyeok won’t be able to use his strength as much as he did in ‘The Bridge of Dreams’.

But what

Among the raids, there were people who knew how to handle magic engineering.

It also has a very proficient level.

“It might be an unexpected headache.”

“You shouldn’t worry too much about it. wise man Even if you pass through the golem by any chance, isn’t there the strongest guardian of this ruin behind it?”

“you’re right. Guardians are also guardians, but the temple in the deepest part of the ruins is forbidden even to us.”

Each of the residents who came with him reassured Johannes with a comment.

Of course, as they say, it is impossible to return alive here once you set foot on the bridge.

If you’re really lucky, only one.

I was wondering if only the magic engineer could barely get a lifeline of his own.

Still, I don’t know why.

Johannes continued to feel uneasy.

And the reason immediately became apparent.

…hmm?

Johannes’ gaze and Jinhyeok’s gaze met head-on.

It’s too exquisite timing to call it a coincidence.

Above all, the ominous smile Jinhyeok showed at the moment their eyes met pierced Johannes’ heart.

…something is going wrong.

Instinct was sending out a warning with all its might.

-Never use a trait or skill to clear the fog.

There was only one condition that was the only limiting thing about the bridge of daydream.

“Oh, no!”

Yohannes hurriedly reached out and tried to dissuade Jinhyeok.

however.

“Okay.”

It’s already late.

[Inherited ability ‘Realm of Wind’ is activated!]

The smoke that covered the entire bridge disappeared like a lie.

at the same time.

[The guardian of the ruins wakes up.]

[All objects within the guardian’s detection range are recognized as enemies.]

[The absolute judgment, ‘Field of Dreams’ is activated!]

[All beings in the ruins until the guardian disappears. You won’t be able to go outside.]

Phrases indicating the worst appeared one after another.
